Breathe Me In – a saddish break up type song, from Livin Is Bling. Here we have Nathan Menhorn (N8$) on drums, Michael Clifford (Thunda) on bass, Aaron (me) on keys and vocals. Mixed right here in river city at NQuit Music, and mastered by John Greenham at John Greenham Mastering.

It’s a sad song, yes, but it’s also sort of triumphant and redemptive. I mean, at least I think so. At least that’s what we were trying for. 🙂

you been lookin pretty good these days
you been lookin pretty fine i’d say
you been lookin pretty lonely too
i been thinkin i should rescue you

you been lookin pretty angel face i been lookin for a pity case you been lookin for a way to get away from me

this is the devil’s land a blood wet hand nobody over here remember the plan so i keep on runnin the direction i been goin and i cannot stop until i make it to the end so don’t you give me any reason to remember that i’m dangerous and i’m never to be trusted now if you want a bait and switch we can do that everybody knows the situation ain’t what it used to be because you caught me at a time when i could not see and i been lookin through the dust tryin to get my path and i been waitin for a little rain to wet my wrath now wait a minute which of us was needin a pity screw? can’t remember anything (gimmee a minute dude) brain is breakin down i don’t know what’s true goddamn would you believe that i thought it was you?

breathe me in one time before you go come over here and breathe me in one more time before you go

you been lookin like a goddess baby ever since you came my way and i been lookin for a way to let you go

got a little bit of rock n roll runnin through me always think i need to break down the way it need to be like “if you wanna be my woman and you want me to be your man you gotta follow the plan” see? so let me get up around your face let me wrap around your head like a cold case and let me breathe what i normally see let me be let me do what i normally won’t do and listen to you and maybe everything you say can make me realize that i’m virtuous and i’m never gonna hurt you i know that you can see that i done been broke down beat round makin a sick sound wander round town lookin upside down i need to come down get my feet on the ground why why why why would you wanna stay my way?

breathe me in one time before you go come over here and breathe me in one more time before you go

do yourself and me a favor girl and don’t push me away come over here and breathe me in i wish that you would stay come over here and breathe me in we need to find a way

breathe me in one time before you go come over here and breathe me in one more time before you go
